Bad Writing? Enter it in a contest!
Hiya Freshman Writers! Hope this finds you well and writing. Today’s post highlight one of the toughest challenges we writers face – bad writing.
Yes, we all go through it. Bad writing can happen to any writer, anytime. But, as this contest shows, bad writing will take you places you Freshman Writers never thought you’d go.
We writers are asked to give our best when we write. Contests give you the rules and usually indicate that the very best will win the prize and glory of being named best writer in any given category. As a writer who is intimidated by such contests, it warmed my heart to see that a contest for bad writing existed.
Wisconsin professor, Sue Fondrie, won the 2011 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest for writing something so atrocious that I wouldn’t wish that kind of bad writing on my worst writing enemy. lol But, here it is – finally, a contest that I know I can submit to without worrying about being rejected for bad writing. Congrats to Sue and all of the contest finalists!
Happy Writing!
